Fight lands Surrey man in hospital with stab wounds

RCMP say the 19-year-old Surrey man was taken to Kelowna General by his friends early Sunday morning.

Police were called at 1:43 a.m.

The two groups of men had been fighting earlier that night in the 200-block of Leon Avenue near the Saphire nightclub.

No one else suffered serious injuries as a result of the scrap.

OPINION I hate to bring it up but it feels like fall outside... Maybe not completely, but that crisp, cool air is slowly creeping into the Valley, reminding us that summer is coming to a close and fall is fast on its heels.
